★★★★★ 4.8 out of 5

From 65 reviews on Google

It was light, crunchy and reminded me of the pizza we ate in Rome, which is nearly impossible to find in Melbourne. Can't wait to go back and try more from the menu!



Mary Tsekouras

I tried a whole spread on my first visit: sorrisi, pizza al taglio, frittatina, lasagne, meatballs, tiramisu… and of course the cannoli, which was so good. Everything tasted fresh, comforting, and full of flavour.

Finally, somewhere doing Italian food without overcomplicating it. Everything tasted fresh and the staff were genuinely lovely. The manager went above and beyond to ensure we were served correctly (gluten free).

Frequently Asked Questions

Italian Catering  FAQ

These are the questions we hear most about Italian catering in Melbourne, covering menus, dietary requirements, service areas and how to book with Pronto478.

  • Do you offer at-home Italian catering in Melbourne?

    Yes. Instead of hiring a venue or cooking all day, our staff come to your home, office or venue and cook for your guests. We bring what we need and clean up afterwards, so you can spend the event at the table with your guests.

  • What is a good Italian catering menu?

    A good Italian catering menu balances something to start, something to share and something sweet. It opens with fried street food such as arancini and fritti, moves to Roman-style pizza and fresh pasta as the main event, and finishes with house-made desserts. At Pronto478, we build every catering menu this way around our Roman pizza, accredited by the Associazione Pizza Romana, then adjust it to your guest count and dietary needs.

  • What is the best Italian food to serve at a party?

    Pizza is the best Italian food to serve at a party. It is made to share, easy to eat standing up, and everyone has a favourite. Pair Roman-style pizza with Italian street food such as arancini and panini, then add vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options so every guest is covered.

  • What is a typical Italian menu?

    A typical Italian menu runs in courses: antipasto (starters), primo (pasta), secondo (mains) and dolce (dessert). For events, we translate that structure into a relaxed street food format of starters, pizza and pasta, then dessert, so the tradition stays while the service suits a party.
